Attention Native growers, producers, food entrepreneurs and gatherers – this is a presentation you do not want to miss on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at 10:00 am Central via Streamyard, YouTube, or FaceBook live.

Did you know the U.S. Department of the Interior proposing new regulations to the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (IACA) that has the potential to impact YOU as a Native grower, producer, food entrepreneur and gatherer?

IFAI’s Executive Director Erin Parker will be speaking on the potential impacts the proposed regulations could have on Tribal producers and food business owners during a live webinar hosted by the Minnesota Indigenous Business Alliance – MNIBA and Shannon Kessner, Fond du Lac citizen and Tribal Liaison with MN Department of Agriculture.

This live webinar is a great opportunity to learn more before the BIA Tribal Consultation regarding this subject set for later on August 2 at 2 p.m. Learn more about the virtual consultation here.
